FREEMASONRY. — (Trey77/0/ilh,. June 1.) —lt is announced, that among the many distinguished Characters who intend being present, and attend his Royal Highness the Dukp of SUSSEX, at the Dedication of the Grand Masonicll at Bath in July next, is our worthy Provincial Grand . Mas ter, 'WILLIAM WILLIAMS, E. It deserves to he publicly known, that this Gentleman has lately been honoured in London with a valuable Gold Medal, set in diamonds, and of exquisite work manship. The front of the Medal represents him as the Provincial Grand Master of Dorset, and, on the reverse, appear characters emblematical of his transcendent talents in the sublime science of Masonry. The following appropriate Inscription appears within a tesselated bonier " Respectfully presented by the Brethren of the Grand Stewards' Lodge, to their Past-Master the It. W. Wm. LL!ANIs, Esq. P. G. M. for Dorset, in testimony of their individual gratitude, not only for the great zeal and distin guished abilities with which be has uniformly promoted the best interests of the Lodge, but also for his extensive and in valuable services to the Craft in general." EXECUTION.—W. Baines, convicted of forgery on the Carmarthen Bank, was executed a few days since. He - resolutely founded his hope of pardon on the anticipated success of his graphic designs and specimens fur Bank ofEngland notes, which, from their peculiar execution and appearance, be . considered as beyond imitation. In this hope, however, he was disappointed ; the ingenuity which enabled him to commit the offence, of which he has been convicted, was insufficient to avert its fatal consequence. We are desired to state, that Messrs. Longman and Co. will publish on Friday, the 12th instant, Mr. Morier's Second Journey through Persia, • between the years 1810 and 1816, in Royal 4to. with Maps, coloured Costumes, &c. M rs .

Much Ado About Nothing was per formed last night at this Theatre.for the benefit - of Mr. C. KEMBLF., and we regret that, after being so long and so deservedly iu favour with the Public, there was not a more numerous audience: The dress-boxes, however, were well atteneed- . --a proof of the respectability of his connections.--.- On this occasion. Mrs. C. KEMBLE, who, to the disgrace of the Managers, cannot, with all her merit and accomplishments, procure an engage ment on the London boards, came forward in the part of Beatrice, and during our long experience in theatrical matters never did we see it per formed with. more accuracy, spirit, and full per,- ception of character. On her entrance site was received with two distinct and zealous rounds of applause, and many who entered the Theatre after she had appeared in the first scene, conceiving that her second was her first appearance, attempt-' ed-to raise a third time such a testimony of pub lic regard: This reception implies a severe ..re proach on the London Managers, who, either from want of judgment, or on account of some private pique; will . not •suffer an Actress of such sterling merit, and such versatility of powers, to assist in the support of alarge family, by the exertion of those talents which would always be highly gratifying to the Puh-lie. This discreditable fact is ~a strong argil - . meat_ for an Appellant Jurisdiction in the esta blishment of a third regular Theatre. Mr.t. KEMBLB gave an animated and critical support to the character of Benedick, -and, as well as his wife, drew warnue;timonies of , applause from the audience during the whole of his performance. in the interlude of Personation, Mrs..C. KumBLE again - displayed her powers . in an admirable. as sumption of the heroine Lady Juliana; and also in her supposed old French Gouvernante. The after'. piece was 'he The Forest of Bondy, of which the chief charcieter is a Dog, a very suitable Performer for a Theatre "here so excellent an Actress is denied the opportunity of subsisting by a profession to which she has devoted her life, and in which she has acquired a high and well-merited popularity PARLIA MENT. HOUSE OP LORDS7WONBSDAYi JUNE Thj Earl of LAaDEaDALE objected to this Bill. heir proceeded in at this late period of the Session, there not being sufficient information before the flouse to enable them to understand the subject: There was a power already vested in the beritors to provide new Churches as occasion migitt re quire. ~',rd Viscount MELVILI:E observed, that the chief object of this Bill wasio provide for th e division of - Parishes, whi c h, in some parts.of Scotland, "were forty miles in extent, and pro viding with that view additional Churches, it being obvious that one Church could not be sufficient for a parish of that extent. The Earl-of LAUDERDALE urged the difficulty of making a sufficient provision for the Ministers of such new Churches in partsiof the Highlands where the population was extremely scanty. • After a few words from the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, stating, that in referring to Scotland on the English Churches Bill, he did:not mean to prejudge the question as to the ne cessity for building new Churchei in Scotland, the conversa tion ended, the Notice bf Lord Melville standing for Friday to suspend the Standing Orders, in order that this Bill might go through its different stages on that day. STATE OF PRISONS., The Marquis of L4NshowNe rose,.pursuant to notice, to move for information •respecting the State of the prisons. His Lordship, on entering upon' this question, after observing upon its im , portaoce, adverted to the official returns of the number of persons committed upon different cliaiges, and. of those convicted; by ,whieh it appeared, that the amount of commitments .lrad, during the _last ten years,. increased in ,n ,proportion rather more than double ; and the number of 'convictions in a ratio, nearly triple. Respecting the causes of this increase o f cr i me there . were various opinions'; the durati on o f t h e war, and the great change caused ,by the peace, together - with the flnctuations thus arising, by which Many pet sons were reduced train affluence, to distress, the large paper currency off er i ng . temptations to forgery, these, with or her causes, were assigned by different persons as reasons for the increase of crime ; hUt whatever differences of opinion might . exist upon jhis,Point, all were agreed'that the state of discipline in, and !nonage , lent of, prisons must have a mOst . materinl infit ence with regard to the ,increase or decrease 0, crimes. When it was considered that, he would not say a number, but that a population of 14,000 persons were annually consigned to those man.. sions throughout the country, on different charges; and that upon the average about 13,000 of those individuals were returned back into the bosom of society, it was surely a consideration of the . greatest importance as to the state of improve ment or otherwise in which these individuals tre sent back into society, whether they were in any degree reformed, or whether they were not on the contrary initiated deeper into all the mysteries of . vice and crime. This, 'therefore, was not a mere speculativ e ques tiO n , b ut a ques tion of the greatest practical importance, it.heing nothing less than whether the prisons of the country should be rendered the means of reform ing the prisoners committed to them, and of re turning them into society, so as that they might become useful members of it, or Whether they should be sent back, not only confirmed in their vicious and criminal propensities, but with those propensities increased and strengthened by means of the society of still greater criminals, with whom they had been allowed indiserimately to associate. His Lordship then adverted to the different legis lative measures whiele had been of late years adopted; for the purpose-of introducing a system of reform into tlie prisons : to the journies of the benevolent Howard; to the work of Mr, Neild ; to the publications of Mr. Buxton, Which he high ly praised ; to the exertions made by Sir George Patti, to establish a prison` updn those principles in Gloucestershire ; to the most successful efforts made by a lady (Mrs. Fry), in Newgate, to re form a number of the criminals confined there ; and to the establishment of a Penitentiary at Mil bank, under the direction of Mr. Holford, and other benevolent individuals, the system of which he thought not yet perfect, but which was un doubtedly a step gained with a view to the object of prison reform. He argued from these premises, and particularly from the most successful exer tions of Mrs. Fry in Newgate, that tiled like her's, and directed by sound judgment, could not fail to bring about that system of reform in our prisons which was so eminently to be desired ; for even the most hardened criminal, as had been beauti fully illustrated by our greatest dramatic poet, had Moments of distress of mind in which it was easy to wot k upon his feelings, and lead him again back to the path of rectitude. His Lordship adverted to the actual state of some of the prisons, partiCu arly that of Bristol, which was most distressing :o contemplate, and observed also upon the un- MISCELLANEOUS. The House was occupied for some time With judicial business. The Judges delivered- their • opini r ons in the case of the Airly, Peerage against the Claimant. • The Royal Assent was notified by Com Mission to the Lot tery Bill, the Parish Vestries Bill, and some others. The Commiisioners were the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of 111ontrose, and Lord Redesdale. -• • Bradbury's Invention Bill was brought up from the House of Commons by Mr. progden and other Members.—Read a first' time, - and ordered to be printed. The Exchequer Bills' - Bill, the Irish Treasury Bills' Bill, the Negotiable Securities' Bill, and other Bills, were read a third - time, and passed. Lord HOLLAND moved the second reading of the Pri vately Stealing in Shops' Bill, which, after a few words from the LORD CHANCELLOR,. was negatived ; it being under stood that there was not sufficient time this Session to con sider the subject. On the motion of the Earl of LIVERPOOL, a n.Address.of Conglatulatiiim. was ordered to be presented to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, on the marriage, of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge ; also a Message of Con gratulation to the Queen, and to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. On the third reading of the Game Purchase Bill, the Earl of- LIMERIC moved an amendment, to subject the purchaser, in default of payment of the penalty, to three months' im prisonment for the first offence, and four months' for every other offence, This gave rise to some conversation. • The Ameodment - was opposed by. the Earl of CARNAR ' VON. and Lord HOLLAND. • The Earl of LIVERPOOL expressed a wish, - that instead of •the - penal system of the Game Laws, game might be openly allowed to be bought and sold. - ' After some observations from the Earl of WESTMOR -I,•,Np, in support of the Game Laws, the question was put on the Amendment, and the Bar cleared'for a • division ; . tint , we understood that rib Noble Lord went forth - content for the Amendment, which was consequently negatived, and the Bill was passed. Lord Viscount MELVILLE moved tire second reading of the Scots Churches Building Bill. The Bill having been read a second time, his Lordship announced his intention of mov ing to take certain of the Standing Orders into consideration on Friday, with the view of getting the Bill ou that day through its remaining stages. . satisfactory state of the prisons of the metropolis, espee:ially-the-Barough Compter;respeef ing which, be - read an extract from Mr. Buxton's work, shelving the entirely inadequate state of that pri son for any purposes connected in the remotest degree with the reform of prisoners. The great test of the fitness of prisons in this respect was the greater - or less number of their inmates who returned to them again charged with different offences '; and whenCe it appeared, that under the system of indiscriminate i• -- association to which he alluded, where there were no means adapted to reform, the return of the prisoners was in the proportion of 40 per Cent., whilst, under the system of reform, the - proportion was only 5' per Cent. ; there could surely require no Other argn tnent to prove the necessity of acquiring that in formation, which would enable the Parliament, in another Session, to legislate with a view to the extension' of that system which had been found, in partial- instances, so eminently beneficial. His Lordship concluded a very eloquent speech, lay` moving an Address to his Royal Highness (Le Prince Regent, praying that information night-be laid before the House, in the next Session of Par liament, respecting the State of Prisons through out the country; the effect of the regulations established for their government and regulation ; and respecting a variety of other circumstances connected with their management. Lord SzomouTtiagreed with the Noble Marquis as to the importance of the subject; and. the mi., lity of instituting an inquiry under the authority of,Parliament. The melancholy fact of the in crease of crime,for the last eight or nine years could not be denied, but as to the cause of that increase is vas impossible to speak with confi- - dence, though it-might probably be attributed to the accumulation of causes noticed by the .Noble Marquis, and to some circumstances which ehasi. • racterised the last few years. It would be found, on referring to The,Papers laid before the Pouse,,, that the number of capital offences had nearly doubled the risen! proportion for three or four years after the close of the war in 1783, but that after that period' they declined again into the or dinary average. At the close of the late war the distress was greater than at any former period, owing to the high price of prOvisiOnS. This Might be supposed to-hare its influence. It was also to be recollected, that Ore terror of punish, trients bad - been lessened by the decreased severity, of their execution, - and that the neglect of itn prOvement in the state of the prisons,• no provi sion basing been made to promote labour and ins dustry within theta; had rendered them, as they .were but too justly described, nurseries of 'vice. His Lordship then entered into a detailed account of the . comparative number o f p ersons conv i cte d acrd executed-inithe different years, from 1749 - tc. 1817, from which. he inferred, that capital pu nishments were :less. frequently enforced •of late than at any of the former periods. In this situa tion the House had to chuse•betWeen two modes of preventing crime ;—either they must adopt a system ofincreased rigour, - or, by some reforma, tionin the management of gaols, attempt to ar rest the progress of crime before it arrived at that stage in .which capital punishment became neces sary. He thanked the Noble Lord for proposing the. inquiry,. and belvas are the . House would feel, it to be their duty, when the information w,as collected, to appoint a Committee; 'and without pretending to, anticipate - what the Report of that Committee might be, he was confident it would lead to an improvement of the system, for which reason the motion had his most cordial concur- • rence. . The zuotitht was accordingly agreed to nem. 41s. On the motion of the Earl of CARNARVON, the amendments of the Cdmnions to the poor Laws Amendment Bill were agreed to. Bart GROsVerroß postpogeti his intended mo , lion' for the abolition of Offices in Reversion till Friday. The - other Orders of the Day were then dis. posed of, and the House adjourned to Friday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The House having attended in the House of Lords, the Speaker, on its return, stated, that the Royal Assent had been given by commit:- Sion to several Bills, (for which see our report of the Lords.) A Message from the Lords brought down tie with some amendments. This Bill was ordered to he printed, and taken into con sideration on Friday. BREWERIES. Mr. LOCKHART brought up a Report from the Committee on Breweries. He felt a satisfaction in stating that the inquiries of the Committee en abled it to bear the fullest testimony to the up. right characters and conduct of the proprietors of the eleven principal Breweries, on whom so many odious suspicions had heretofore rested. With regard to the price of beer, the Committee would not hesitate to say, that, considering the prices of malt and hops, and the expences of -an esta blishment where these articles are converted into liquor, the profits of these gentlemen were by no means exorbitant ot- unjust. It was further proved that they had not been in the practice of mixing with their liquor any deleterious ingre dients whatever, and would not suffer any process to be introduced in their establishments which could have the slightest pernicious tendency. With the exception of one house, which had been detected in the use of salt of tartar, they had been all decidedly averse to practices of that na ture. He thought that it was the bounden duty of the Excise to admit no relaxation of the laws against persons convicted of such practices, that the penalty should be exacted with severity, and the conviction, with all the cirrumstances, posted up, so as to obtain the widest notoriety. The. Committee was unable to extend its inquiries to the country ; but, as far as it could obtain in formation, the accounts were flattering, and the use of that wholesome beverage was on the in crease amongst the lower orders. He would im plore the magistrates to exercise all their activity towards breaking dawn that confederacy, which was so generally injurious to the health of the poor. Mr. J: SMITH declared himself at all times, un friendly to the use of gin by the poorer classes,
